The Tool Bar / Re: What did you get up to tod...

Forty-five years ago, I had a 24-hour layover in Tokyo. My sister gave me a couple hundred dollars worth of Japanese money and I spent it all on a 55mm lens that would focus down to 2:1. I used it for the picture of the white moth. It was a real pain to use a manual-focus lens on a moving subject. We hang a white sheet and shine various wavelengths of light on the sheet. The moths will rest on the sheet. We wait for them to stop moving but when the wind blows, the sheet moves! After a laborious evening in May, I bought a used 60mm micro lens with autofocus for $130 which I used last Monday. It made the job so much easier. It was so easy that I took 400 photos of moths in a couple of hours. I am still doing selection and postprocessing and only finished a third of them so far.

This one was taken with a white background and the moth didn't look as mean as the other.




My son and daughter-in-law planned the trip to Mexico City. I was told it was difficult to make reservations but they scored one at the opening time for lunch. We were having too much fun at the Museum of Anthropology in the morning. By the time we left the museum, we were late for the reservation. Kids were disappointed but I suggested that we still give it a try. When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess still held the reservation for us.

Great shots Schen, but really love the white one. Were you using a macro lens?

I overlooked your dish by Chef Elena Reygadas' of Rosetta Restaurant. Was it hard to get into her restaurant? Very interesting about the ants.

Last week was National Moth Week. Due to logistic issues, we held our moth observation last Monday. The night air was warm and stale, just the kind of weather moths love.




Earlier this year in May, we had an observation with fewer moths showing up. But one of them was stunning.
